OsuMj Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Did anyone even know this place exists? I've lived in Columbus for over 10 years and have never heard of it.Summit Vision, this is one of the courses. and, trying to not lose my balance This place is crazy! There's another high ropes course, a zip line, an obstacle course, lots of really cool things.So, is this just a fantastic columbus secret? or am I the only one that hasn't heard of this place?

Casper Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I had no idea we had a high ropes course in Columbus. That's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak740 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 We also have one of these where I work (R Adventure Park). We also do ATV rentals with or without a guided tour, and we have a zip rail roller coaster. We are located in Logan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZ Kari Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 There's also Camp Mary Orton off 23 just north of 270. I've been there a couple times. It's a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of fun.I don't think you can just go there though. It's a camp for under privileged kids. They also do corporate events. But I don't think it's open to the public. I volunteer there occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I guess its been there for 14 years? Says it was founded in 1997. They have a course that is for training similar to the Ninja Warrior challenges too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 We did this thing called "the swing". If you look at the first pic, at the platform where the lady is sitting, you're hooked into some wires and you basically jump off of that platform and about 1/3 of the way down, the wires swing you away and you end up swinging back and forth for a bit. Even though I saw several people successfully do it, I still had a hard time convincing my legs that it was OK to step off of the platform... even the second time I did it, I had to say out loud, "step off the platform"... so crazy.I definitely spent about 5 mins in the middle hugging the pole too. Just, sitting, hugging the pole. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time was a middle school field trip, second time was for a company outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to check this out, quite embarrasses being that I live in Westerville and am unaware of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh1234 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 When my wife & I went white water rafting on the Youghiogheny river on a Laurel Highlands River tour, we hit a "zipline adventure park" the day prior that looked a lot like that... It was a blast! It took us about 30-45 minutes to make it through the course the first time, and after that, we could each do it in about ten! And the ONLY thing that changed was our own confidence level. Still blows my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I feel like we should have an OR group outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
